Here is one of her hits, which I would have thought did better in the US than it actually did (You're My World): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7-QBw862zk

I don’t recall having heard of her. I’ll listen on youtube this afternoon and see if I recognize any of the music.

May she rest in peace. I remember her mainly for “Blind Date”. She will be missed.

I used to hear her version of “Your’re My World” on oldies radio stations. I instantly recognized the name when I saw it at top of Twitter trending words, (which is not a good sign for people of certain age).

Well, RIP. But I won’t speak ill of the dead.

Almost completely unknown here.

Legendary? In what sense?

Oh. Right. I forget. Some words in British English are pretty much reverse in American English.

Fer instance, private schools in England are what we call public schools here in the Colonies and vice versa.

Was it Winston Churchill who said, "America and Britain are two peoples separated by a common language."?

Cilla Black was on one of the Ed Sullivan shows featuring The Beatles. I did not see the original telecast. I bought the DVD a few years ago. And there was Cilla wearing a bizarre space helmet hairdo that I’d seen ONCE in real life, as 6 yr old, and never forgotten. Think about thst; a hairdo so weird that a 6 yr old who has no interest at all in style or hairdressing NEVER forgets it. Nice voice, too.

Cilla Black sang three of Burt Bacharach’s blockbusters: “Anyone who had a heart,” “You’re my World,” and “Alfie.”
She sold more UK records than any other British female singer, including Petula Black. Her forte was the fragile, wounded wisp barely whispering at the start who rose to a righteous fury and ending in a crescendo.

She was the woman in a famous photo with many of the British singers in 1964 just before they all got big.

One of the top female performers of the Brit invasion. She was on the Ed Sullivan show when the Beatles performed.

[AlaskaErik]

Never heard of her.

[Liberty Valance]

Rest in peace.

RIP.

I last heard this in the February, 1965, when it was played on KRLA, LA's 50,000-watt Top 40 station at 1110 kilocycles. Although itt got some airplay, it never charted.
